226 Beach 29th Street, Queens, NY 11691

The three-story residential building at 226 Beach 29th Street in Far Rockaway, owned by Roy Baruch and constructed in 2002, has experienced several recurring issues over its operational history, particularly between 2019-2021. Most notably, there was a significant rodent infestation problem in apartment 1F during late 2019, with associated violations including the need to address pest infestations and water leaks in the kitchen area.

While the building maintained a bedbug-free record since 2018 with no reported infestations in recent years, other maintenance concerns persisted. The most recent violation, recorded in September 2024, involved improper garbage storage conditions, resulting in citations under New York's Administrative Code for inadequate waste receptacles and accumulation of refuse.

Prior to this, the building underwent multiple inspections and complaints related to sanitary conditions, with varying outcomes including some inspections resulting in violations and others where access was not granted for inspection. The property has generally demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2018, and passed initial rodent inspections in 2014, though multiple pest-related complaints were logged between 2019-2021. The building appears to have stabilized somewhat in recent years, with no new major infestation issues reported since 2020, though the recent garbage storage violations indicate some ongoing maintenance challenges.
